Williamsburg cafes have strong opinions about their oat milk and will share them with you whether you asked or not. The menus lean heavily on avocado toast, grain bowls and pastries, which sounds promising until you realize most of the gluten-free options are a single sad muffin in a case by the register. These are the cafes that do better than that. Start at Impact Kitchen, where the whole kitchen is gluten-free, or try the gluten-free pastries at Hi Hello Crepes. For more options, the full Williamsburg guide covers the neighborhood, and Cafés in Greenpoint and gluten-free cafes across New York are both worth a look.
